One of our jobs was to take a photo of the child's new room, it looked so dull and boring with just a bed and wardrobe we decided to set up a little teddy bear tea party as the main feature of the photo.
But DH worried that the child would expect all the teddies in the photo to be their teddies when they arrived! as we were using DD's teddies and she doesn't always want to share! So we asked her to give a couple of teddies for the child, I have two of my one's that I was keeping for just that purpose and today we bought a little rabbit for them too!
It feels beyond weird to buy a gift for a child we have not even been matched to and before we are approved! I certainly won't be buying anything else, but it felt kinda nice. I even carried it like a baby and handed it to the shop assistant rather than putting it on the conveyor belt!
Am I crazy or did anyone else do this?
